Portales council to select capital outlay requests

PORTALES — The Portales City Council is slated to select its 2019 capital outlay requests at Tuesday’s meeting.

City Manager Sammy Standefer said the city’s Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan has five proposed projects including water system and well system upgrades and street improvements, though it will be up to the council to select which projects the city will request funding for from the state Legislature.

Also on the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers at the Memorial Building:

n Following a public hearing, the council will vote on an ordinance that would revise the city code to update the section on city building codes to align with new state codes.

n The council will vote on a resolution setting municipal records and email retention guidelines, which Standefer said comes from a retention schedule for personnel and other records sent out by the state.
